Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

Codes for Calculating Fault Zone Waves

Date: 04/08/2008

Forwarded announcement of a newly available resource from Yehuda Ben-Zion, USC:

The website below has f90 codes that calculate synthetic scalar (P or S) waveforms in a structure with vertical fault zone layers. The waveforms include body waves and fault zone head and trapped waves.

(1) Program "hs3m.f90" corresponds to eq.(2.10) of Ben-Zion, Y. and K. Aki, Seismic radiation from an SH line source in a laterally heterogeneous planar fault zone, Bull. Seism. Soc. Am., 80, 971-994, 1990.

(2) Program "hs4m.f90" corresponds to eq.(1) of Ben-Zion, Y., Properties of seismic fault zone waves and their utility for imaging low velocity structures, J. Geophys. Res., 103, 12567-12585, 1998.

The website also has two README files and two example sets of input parameters.

You can download the files from:

Best, Yehuda
